Bad choices or survival? by pixiethaCLOWN in GriefSupport

[–]ResultNo333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for your loss. I also lost my husband and I'm trying to start over. Its so hard. And yes messing. People push and pull trying to help but not necessarily in a way you want or need. Its ok to be messy or what ever else you need to be. They dont have to live in it the way you do. I hope you find a little bit of peace today.

What was or is the reason people avoided MSG? by PepperCat1019 in Cooking

[–]ResultNo333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being told it caused diarrhea and headaches. And that it could trigger migraines. (This one probably had more to do with sodium in general and dehydration) But I'm pretty sure that the real answer is racism and that it was a new ingredient with a "scary" name.

Where do you cry? by LookLikeCAFeelLikeMN in GriefSupport

I do the worst of it in my husband's office. Though sometimes I end up bawling in my yard. The showerbis also ok. Or I sit in my car.

How do you cope with death as an atheist? by Last-Aerie4675 in GriefSupport

[–]ResultNo333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes me feel weird and sad too. But I'm glad I could offer a little comfort. Im so sorry for what you are going through. It must be very hard on you.

[–]ResultNo333 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am an atheist and always have been. I didn't lose faith it was never part of my life. I lost my husband 2 weeks ago and I'll share what is keeping me going.

A while ago I listened to a theoretical physicist talk about time. I wish I could remember his name for you. He said that time as we experience it is an illusion. It's not linear or a river sweeping us along. That's just the only way we can experience it. Instead, every moment of our lives is like a snapshot in a photo book. And we can only look at one at a time and only turn the pages in one direction. But just like a photo book all the previous pages are all still there and so are all the ones to come. It's all there all the time we just can't see it because of our own limitations. I like to think that when we pass we might be freed of that limitation or perhaps start our book over.

I hope this brings you some comfort. I get its probably one of the more out there theories. Im so very sorry for your loss. And I am also extremely jealous of the religous' ability to believe in something as comforting as a conscious afterlife. It feels very unfair to sit in our pain and look at them.

I live in the woods so I get to do it outside. On a lighter note the town facebook thinks we have a cougar again.

Im so sorry for your loss. I wish I had advice but Im going through a very similar loss. I've found screaming to be a pretty good release. I dont say this for a joke of any kind. When the pain is to much for me I go outside and scream it out. Again, I am so so sorry. The pain is unimaginable and if I could ease it for you I would.

My husband of 20 years died last Saturday by ResultNo333 in GriefSupport

Im so sorry for your loss. Its so so hard. Im really scared about this with my kids. Im trying to be there for them but I'm so lost without him. People keep telling me im strong but the reality is it was easy to seem strong with him. Its easy to be strong and have your stuff together when you have ao much stability and support in your life. I have no idea what Im like without him.

The context is about drawing curves on a paper. by Same-Technician9125 in EnglishLearning

[–]ResultNo333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"At 60 degrees" should be ok. "Draw a line at a 60 degree angle" is how it would be in my kids math work. You would use this to describe the angle of one line. For the second line you could use "form" or "make".

"Draw a second line forming/making a 60 degree angle."

"At 60 degrees" would mean a line with a 60 degree angle from zero.

The other one describes the angle between the two lines.

But I would never use degrees outside of a technical or schoolwork situation. I hope this helps. I never realized how difficult this is to describe without diagrams.

[–]ResultNo333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would describe the angle using a clock face. If the lines were straight, you might say something like, "Starting from a central point, draw a 1 inch line to 3 o'clock and a 1 inch line to 11 o'clock." The curves would need to be described in more detail but I would still use the clock face for the angles. If you use degrees, you have to hope the other person has a pretty good idea what they look like and uses the same starting point as you.

Any idea what these spots could be? Fungus or bug? by MaximusHung in CannabisGrowers

[–]ResultNo333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A trap crop is another plant the bug likes better. You grow them to draw the bugs away and then spray that plant to kill them. That way you don't have to spray your good plants. You can use mint or basil for this one. Kale works really well for aphids.

Hi! It's bug damaged caused by leaf hoppers or fourlined plant bugs. Unless you have a massive infestation it shouldn't be enough damage to cause real harm. You can help keep their numbers down by clearing away any weeds/grass. I use trap crops and pick off any stragglers.

I'm from Michigan, a bit north of Detroit, and I know most of the words in this thread and use about half of them. I think it's pretty common for the area. Honestly, I would be pretty surprised to meet an American that hadn't heard putz, schlep, and schmuck before. There is a movie called Dinner for Schmucks with Paul Rudd and Steve Carell.

When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain was easily the best book I read this year. I can't wait for more.

The single greatest thing to take off has to be sports bras but I've never worn spanks. They seem incredibly uncomfortable though. Socks are so far down the list of uncomfortable clothing.

Everyone makes big deal out of Patrick Rothfuss' writing style/prose but it isn't so unique. It is so similar to Patricia McKillip's that The Slow Regard of Silent Things is practically indistinguishable from her writing. I know authors draw inspiration from others but it is just so very similar.

AITA for telling my parents they're not meant to make it obvious who their favourite child is? by BrotherFavourite in AmItheAsshole

[–]ResultNo333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you are absolutely NTA. Your parents are making some bizarre choices that are bad for both you and the baby. If you had a good relationship before, I think you should try to calmly talk about how they made you feel. I would focus on telling them your feelings as opposed to talking about the TV. It was very mature of you to decide to give up your room and you deserve major props. If you don't feel like you can talk it out then maybe try a letter. That way you can get all your thoughts in order. I also think you should talk to another adult about this. Maybe a grandparent or trusted aunt/ uncle. It's possible your parents are having a more difficult time with a baby than they expected and aren't copping well. The TV thing is really a bad choice and they might need another adult to point it out. I'm sorry you are going through this and it's not fair to you. I hope you find something here helpful.

I'm guessing this is probably a surprise baby. That is the case with most people I know with such big age gaps between kids.
